Actually this depends on how we look at the code:
if we set exec_start to 0 explicitly, as you said the code is more direct and
readable.
if we don't set exec_start to 0, we can save one instruction though
it's minor.

I have no strong opinion on either of them :)

BTW, put_prev_task_fair() doesn't set exec_start to 0.

Thanks,
